sweet ophelia


Sweet Ophelia

I would not love you
But for the red brook inside my heart
Pleasuring me, calm
In sounds of your speech

I would not love you
But for the bursting garden amidst my soul
Lavishing my ankles
I rest, not whole

I would not love you
But for the broken stairs of a hill
Emitting you
Each season, still

Oh love, if you could wake my heart
With certainty too cruel

I’d grieve as
Sweet Ophelia!

And I would not love you
